Did I really use the same pose and base as the previous Rainbow Dash I drew? I'll let you in on something. This is completely re-drawn. Nothing traced. Still, how lazy of me. Am I really running out of ideas to finally draw the same pose? Eh, I only have so few left.

Anyways, I was asked to draw a Shadowbolt preggers. I recommend Rainbow Dash since the Shadowbolts aren't really real. I was going to draw the children with her, but I couldn't. So, I just went with this. I was running late. I had to run some errands during the time. The next picture should have Shadowbolt Fluttershy with her two kids. I promise.

Horses do look like they've swallowed soccerballs when pregnant. There's two on the ranch I live at that look like that, and one of of them has twins. The other thing too, is this is a cartoon, and everything gets exaggerated. The artist didn't do half bad at all, and it's an awkward position for a horse character to be in, especially when MLP have some human-like movements and anatomy.

You come off as insulting, and not a helpful critique person. Instead of saying "She looks more like she inhaled a soccer ball than pregnant imho. " Maybe offer ideas as to how it could look better. You obviously have experience with cartoons, judging by your devArt page

Anyways! You do raise a valid point with research needing to be done. I just hate it when individuals say " X-thing sucks." But offer no way to improve it. To me, it's like me saying your shirt sucks. But your shirt sucks because you didn't tuck it in, or it's inside out. Weird analogy, but do you get what I mean?

We all have our quirks to work on. I'm overly blunt, as you've noticed

I think I have... 4 binders full of other people's art, skeletons, musculature, action poses of various animals and people... I think that was the smartest idea I ever had. Cause it makes the researching process easier, and so easy to flip a page open and see.

I'd do it on my computer, but I've found that computers are just as bad as dryers at losing things. Except instead of losing one half of a sock pair, computers crash. Computers are way easier access though, not to mention lighter if you work with a laptop.

Just figments of her imagination created to distract Rainbow Dash, and tests her loyalty because Luna knew that each one will be the element, or I could be wrong. I don't care. They aren't real, simple as that.
